PU Sheets
Polyurethane (PU) sheets are durable, flexible, and versatile sheets made from polyurethane, a polymer known for its exceptional abrasion resistance, elasticity, and high load-bearing capacity. These sheets are widely used in industrial, mechanical, and engineering applications where flexibility, strength, and resistance to wear and tear are crucial.
Common Applications
- Industrial Equipment:Used for wear pads, seals, bushings, and gaskets in heavy machinery.
- Conveyor Systems:Lining, rollers, and skid plates for material handling.
- Automotive Industry:Engine mounts, suspension components, and anti-vibration pads.
- Construction:Formwork liners, impact pads, and protective barriers.
- Mining:Screens, scrapers, and liners for handling abrasive materials.
- Agriculture:Harvester blades, rollers, and chute liners
- Marine Applications: Boat fenders, bumpers, and seals due to its resistance to water and corrosion.
- Tooling and Molding:Used in mold-making and as protective coverings for tooling equipment.
- Sports and Recreation: Skateboard wheels, treadmill belts, and protective gear.
- Food Processing:FDA-approved grades for food-safe applications like cutting surfaces and seals.
- Cutting:Can be cut with sharp tools like knives or saws.
- Bonding:Requires specialized adhesives for joining.
- Welding:Thermoplastic PU sheets can be welded using heat techniques.
- Drilling and Milling:Compatible with standard machining methods.
- High Abrasion Resistance:Outstanding ability to withstand wear and tear in high-friction applications.
- Elasticity:Offers excellent flexibility and resilience, allowing it to absorb impacts and vibrations.
- Load-Bearing Capacity:Superior tensile strength and ability to handle heavy loads without deformation.
- Wide Hardness Range:Available in various hardness grades (Shore A and Shore D), from soft and flexible to rigid.
- Chemical Resistance:Resistant to oils, greases, fuels, and many industrial chemicals.
- Temperature Resistance:Performs well across a wide temperature range (-40°C to 80°C, with some grades tolerating even higher).
- Water Resistance:Impervious to water and does not swell, making it ideal for wet or submerged environments.
- Sound Dampening:Effective in reducing noise and vibration in machinery and equipment.
- UV and Weather Resistance:Available with UV stabilization for outdoor use.
- Recyclable: Some grades are eco-friendly and can be recycled.
- Exceptional Wear Resistance:Lasts longer than rubber and many other polymers in abrasive conditions.
- Flexibility:Combines elasticity and strength, making it highly versatile.
- Versatility:Available in a wide range of hardness and customizable properties.
- Resilience:Recovers quickly from impacts, maintaining its shape and performance.
- Cost-Effective: Durable material that reduces the need for frequent replacements.
- Eco-Friendly Options:Some grades are recyclable and environmentally sustainable.
